    Tight steering feel could be contributed to alignment. Especially caster.

    When did this forum adopt so many trolls? The bump steer comment makes sense, thanks.

    Any chance there's something I can do electronically or mechanically to ease it up? I'm guessing no.

    I don't see mention of UCA like someone else said if your caster is low it will feel stiff and heavy. I lifted my truck without new UCA the caster was low, less than one, felt heavy and stiff. after new uca and caster set at over 4 it was a lot smoother

    Sorry, I mentioned mods in post #3. I'm running JBA High Castor UCA's. Alignment shop gave me 3.1 degrees on both sides. I asked for more (knowing some guys got as high as 4), but they said when they've aligned other trucks at 4+, they came back saying it caused other issues. I can't remember exactly, but I think he said it actually caused to wander on the freeway.

    Awesome I have the standard high caster JBA uca as well awesome product except my higher back space on the wheels cause the tires to rub.

    Guess the uca isn't the problem sorry :/
